A Pittsburgh telegram says: The
Pittsburgh relatives of Miss Van Zandt,
the young heiress who is to marry Spies,
the Chicago Anarchist, are nearly heart
broken. Il spent nearly the entire
Sabbath on my knees in prayer for that
infatuated girl" said Mrs. John Ar

afternoon, land when | opened the
paper this morning and saw that Mr..
Eugene Sieger, the Chicago marriage
license clerk, had refused the license,
so that she could not marry, thanked
God for what seemed direct answer to
my prayer, and then the next thing l
did was to send a telegram to Mr.. Sic
ger thanking him for his manhness and
courage in daring to refuse the Ii
cense."
Miss Van Zandts mother is the only
sister of Mrs. Arthur, and had been
visiting her parents and sister just two
weeks previous to the announcement of
her engagement, and, with the excep-
ton of jokingly remarking that Nina
expected to marry some nice man in
the spring, had made nothing known
and had not given the slightest hint in
the true direction. On reading the
news, so great was the prostration of
Mrs. Arthur's father, Mr.. William b.
Clark, that Mrs. Arthur was obliged TO
write to the Van Zandts the message
he wished 10 send. The letter was
mailed by 10 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, imploring Nina's parents to pre-
vent the marriage. This was closely
followed by another, and the Van
Zandt family were informed that hence
forth they were not 10 be considered in

purposes, said Mrs. Arthur, as she
wiped the tears from her eyes this after
noon. Mrs. Arthur is a rich society
woman here. and holds Miss Van

wears in fighting the Indians of Texas,
in 1859 he was made first lieutenant by
brevet. At the outbreak of the civil
war he acted as colonel of the
Forty-second Ohio volunteers. In
1872 he was made brigadier-gene-
raj of volunteers, and major by
brcvet in the regular army in 1863, a re-
ward for his courage in the battle of

for distinguished services in several bat
ties led up to his being made in March,

later he was commissioned maior-gene-
raj Of volunteers TO rank from Deem

the volunteer service i'll 1866, and sub

characteristics of the French and Ger

United States embodied his observa-
tons on these subjects in a book enti-

CEier of the Signal Seryice. Long
KnOvn NJ "OId Prob

General William B. Hazcn, the see
ond incumbent Of the distinguished po-
sition of Chief Signal Officer, died
January 10th. He succeeded General
Myer, December 8, 1880. The appoint
ment, which will probably be given
Lieutenant Greedy, now assistant Signal
officer, is one of great public import
ance, involving the superintendent OF
that department of the public service
which gives information as to weather
probabilities.
The manner in which this universally
interesting information is prepared IS
as follows: Observations are made at
about $50 stations in places represent
ing the entire territory of the United
States These are telegraphed to Wash
ington, where, on large map made
for the purpose, the reports so gathered
are collated, thereby enabling those
forccastings to be made as to the wea-
Their here, there, and everywhere, which
experience has manifested are entitled
to great respect for their general accu-
Tacv.
The late head Of that branch of the
War Department having this business
in hand was born in the State of Yer
mont, in the year 1880. In 1851 he
entered the Military Academy at West
Point. Four years afterwards he gradu-
ated at that institution, and was made
brevet second lieutenant of the Fourth
